    You people need to brush up on your history. In much the same way as your village doctor was also your barber and your dentist was also a religious interrogator in medieval Europe, a masseuse and nutritionist were combined professions in North America in 2011. Eventually, those fields separated into differing professions with separate skillsets – I think this happened in mid-2012.

    so you regularly get medical advice from a massage therapist??

    Doc Oz?

    cuz they lied to you cuz.

    I don't know about all of those, but cranberry juice can prevent UTI and lemon can prevent kidney stones, so they must be helping to flush something out.

    I feel like back in 2011, the ability to discern sarcasm was also a more ubiquitous skill, especially when descriptions of medieval professions were discussed. That may have also changed mid-2012...

    Thanks everyone for the suggestions. They helped and she was proud to say the toxins had gone down.

    How exactly is she measuring your toxin levels? This sounds like a crock of *kitten* to me...

    Just weigh the crock full of shi . . . uhhhh . . . toxins. Subtract the weight of the crock, and voila, toxins measured, right? :#

    The only way to release toxins is through PURE. Perspiration, Urination, Respiration, and Evacuation. Exercise, fiber, and water will take care of most of these and learning what foods are alkaline vs acidic and moving toward an alkaline nutrition lifestyle will help ensure you're not putting more in than you're getting rid of.

    I noticed the 4 years of silence but since people are reading this I thought I'd put in my 2 cents worth.

    Huh?????????????? The pH of your foods has nothing to do with health.

    I guess I should start adding lye to all of my foods.

    Oooh, or I could put it in smoothies and make millions off of my new cleanse! Start your alkaline lifestyle today with a risk free trial!
    risk free.

    lol.

    I've been working on my cleanse all morning.

    This ability is definitely becoming more rare every year

    let me guess you go to a naturepath ...??? or whatever they are called/spelled...

    srs question. Is that the same as a homeopathic?

    Naturopaths usually practice homeopathy, as well as a lot of other pseudoscientific practices. My sister-in-law saw one who hooked her up to a machine that he claimed would shoot energy through her body and allow the spirits to tell him what was wrong with her. So. :indifferent:

    I think we may have the same SIL.

    Oh man...what's with all of the catty, snide remarks? One of my biggest pet peeves on MFP are people who take precious time out of their day to post condescending and patronizing replies to people who are genuinely trying to better themselves by asking fellow MFPers for help/advice.
    This was amazingly catty and condescending.

    Please stop.

    Glad someone called it. :laugh:

    I think the Reiki "healers" are some of the most derpiest of the holistic, alternate "medicine crowd."

    Let me put my hands on you and heal you.

    The reason I started looking into alt-med a few years ago was that I had been diagnosed with lupus and a Facebook friend of mine wanted me to try homeopathy and was also a reiki practitioner.

    My thing is this: if you want to trust religion for your healing, fine. But call it religion, not science, because that's what it is.

    Probably the OP to let us know her toxin levels are almost non-existent now per her masseuse.

    My cousin is one...she has referred to herself as both over the years. I think naturepath might be the new, less exposed-as-fraudulent word for homeopath.

    MY massage therapist who is *awesome* has never once mentioned toxins to me, but she has advised that I drink extra water after a massage because the knots tie up chemicals in them that are released back into the bloodstream when they're...rubbed out. I do know I feel wonky after a massage but I also know that I get super deep tissue massages that leave bruises so it could easily be just emo wonky.

    No idea why, but I'm super entertained by emo wonky. I kind of want it printed on a shirt just to confuse people. Might be a good band name though.
